The destroyed sculpture garden of Niki de Saint Phalle

Stoere verhalen over kunst is not just a book about art. In this book you are challenged to put into words what you see. Nothing is wrong. Everything is allowed. Each chapter focuses on an artist with a famous work of art (including work by Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Duchamp), followed by a story that is inspired by the work of art discussed. Fun facts about the artist and the work are also included. At the end of each chapter there is an assignment to get started with yourself. The works of art are a mix of classic and modern, including sculptures, paintings, installations, graffiti and applied art. When you finish the book, you will have discovered details in the works of art that you probably did not notice at first. This way you learn to see better and better and art becomes even more fun!
